’1′ How Many People Does it Take to Make a Difference?’

One of the greatest gifts you can give to your self is inspiration. Inspiration to get in touch with your dreams. Inspiration to seek out your deepest passions. Inspiration to make a difference in the world, a difference only you can make. This is not a book about success; it’s a book about significance. It’s not a book about making a living; it’s a book about making a life.

Be Happy

Remember to live, love, laugh and learn.

Happiness is a personal choice and we can choose to embrace it, share it and celebrate it. Each and every day offers endless opportunities to live, love, laugh and learn – and to share the day with those we love. Bright and colorful, this cheery collection of quotes will inspire you to live every day to the fullest.

The dynamic Sydney duo behind these fab markets has brought together an amazing array of local crafty types, who produce some pretty amazing stuff.

What we love about it is that most of what is on offer is lovingly handmade and handcrafted in bedrooms and workshops (aka. the living room) around Brisbane and Australia for those who have travelled from far away places to be there this weekend.

If you’re impartial to a bit of local, handmade product love then The Finders Keepers markets is for you!

This week we have another fabulous giveaway thanks to the wonderful brother and sister duo behind Palm Beach Collection.

Inspired by a childhood growing up on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, the Palm Beach candle range is made from eco-friendly soy wax and essential oils and alcohol-free reed diffusers.

Proudly family owned and made in Australia the Palm Beach range has more than 20 incredible fragrances, with more due for release in 2011.

My heart wanders is Pia Jane Bijkerk’s latest book.

It details her life journey so far, from a childhood abroad, to life and love in Paris and Amsterdam, and back again to Sydney.

Stylist and Photographer Pia has shot beautiful photographs of her apartment in Paris and her houseboat in Amsterdam that are scattered throughout the book amongst musings of inspiration on how to ‘take risks, and make a home wherever you are.’

A great book with which to curl up on the couch, cup of tea in hand, and get lost in the charm of her adventure.
